Mrs. Dennis Dead
On last Monday morning at 1 o'clock Mrs. Frances D. Dennis passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. T.G. Wiles.
Her last sickness was of only a few days duration, but for the past few years her strength has been gradually failing as the result of infirmities incident to advanced age.
Frances D. Cullem was born in Cincinnati, Ohio Dec. 7th, 1841, therefore at the time of her death she had reached the age of 79 years, 2 months and 14 days. Early in life she moved to Illinois, locating in Doddsville, Schuyler County, and was married to John Q.A. Jones, who at the beginning of the war of 1861-65 enlisted in the services of his country in Co K, 17th Regiment Illinois Vol. Infantry, and was a commissioned officer of his company when he was killed in battle.
To this union was born two children, Harry C. Jones now deceased, and Effie H. Jones, now Mrs. T.G. Wiles, with whom she has made her home the last few years of her life.
In 1868 she was united in marriage to John M. Dennis and in 1872 they came to Kansas, locating in Cherokee, and built the house which she has continuously owned and called her home for nearly 49 years.
Mr. Dennis was engaged in the hardware business and he departed this life in the year of 1903.
The immediate relatives surviving her are her only daughter, Mrs. Wiles, one granddaughter, and eight great-grandchildren.
In 1872 when she settled in Kansas, semi-pioneer conditions existed and it required much effort of these pioneers to organize the schools, lodges and churches upon which the growth, progress and social well being of every community so much depends.
Mrs. Dennis took a leading part with the early settlers in these affairs and was a reader of good books, as well as keeping posted on the current events of the day and this she continued until the end of her life.
She was a member of Cherokee Chapter No. 130 Order of the Eastern Star, was one of the charter members, and elected as the first Worthy Matron on the organization of the chapter in 1893.
She was also a member of John A. Logan Circle of the Grand Army of the Republic and in their activities she always took a deep interest and especially in the observance of Decoration Day, May 30th, as this day brought to her many tender memories of the old soldiers who had answered the last roll call.
For many years she has been a member of the Presbyterian church and the faith she professed was made manifest in her relations and activities of life and thus she was blest with length of days and the rich graces of a Christian character.
Funeral services were conducted at the Presbyterian church Tuesday the 22nd by her pastor, Rev. Hamilton, who was assisted by Rev. Torrence of the M.E. Church and burial in Cherokee cemetery.
